Local artists welcome the public into their studios

LOCAL OPINION Councillor Jane Evison, portfolio holder for rural issues and cultural services It is fantastic that so many artists in Hull and the East Riding will be throwing open the doors of their studios to the public. REVEAL is always a successful event and I am sure 2011 will be no exception.

past 30 years. REVEAL gives me the opportunity to explore my own work and also gives the public a glimpse into the process of making art and the practicalities involved. Hornsea-based artist, Tracy Savage, paints coastal scenes and creates hand-made pottery, and has been involved in REVEAL from the beginning. She said: These events are so nice to do and it helps put the East Riding on the map as there is some real talent here. It helps let people see what we do and also inspires them to give it a try.

All types of glass can be put in the blue bins, along with a wider range of plastics, including yoghurt pots, as well as Tetra Pak food and drink cartons. Glass and plastics should be washed out so that the contents do not contaminate the paper. Tins and cans should be washed and squashed.

Sewer ownership changes

From Saturday, 1 October the ownership of many private sewers will transfer from their current owners to Yorkshire Water.

This includes sewers which run across land owned by East Riding of Yorkshire Council, through council house gardens and across communal areas of council estates.

Residents will have received a letter from Yorkshire Water with notication of this change. Enclosed with the letter is a legal notice, which Yorkshire Water has to serve on occupiers connected to the public sewer network. Do not be worried or concerned about this legal notice. You do not have to take any action.

The theme of the challenge is bringing the natural world into the hospital based on the subject of your favourite place in the East Riding.

Financial management in the East Riding of Yorkshire remains strong after excellent results in the revenue budget for last year (2010-2011). This is against the back drop of reduced funding to all local authorities and the East Riding was no exception. On service budgets, excluding schools and the Housing Revenue Account, a total of 8 per cent savings were achieved. This includes a planned saving of some 9.5 million from base budgets which will now continue to future years, a 2m in year saving following reduction in government funding, but also additional savings of 12.6m have been made across all directorates. This additional saving will go some way to the 30m the council needs to achieve over a four year period. I have previously stated that members and ofcers work together in a planned way with the intention of protecting services across the board and I have every condence we will continue in a positive way. The council is working very hard on a transformation agenda, looking at delivering services differently and more efciently, for example with other partners and using the

latest technology. Already over half of a projected 14m annual saving has been made. We have also made large inroads to management cost making savings in senior salaries of 1.3m. Many of the savings also give the council exibility and the ability to respond to service needs such as the severe weather experienced over the last two years including the large cost of repairing the highway infrastructure. The council, unlike many others, will continue to invest in highways, schools, leisure facilities and so on. In the current year an anticipated spend will be in the region of 100m. Not only will this have an impact on much needed new buildings and improvements, it will be welcomed by the local construction industry, protecting jobs and skills. Work will be targeted on making buildings more efciently operated, particularly energy, making more savings in the long term. All of the above is possible by our very committed workforce, who are doing an excellent job in very difcult times. Our efforts are aimed at protecting services to you as residents which we know are much needed and valued.

New website aims to help young people make the right career choice
DID YOU KNOW? From 2013, the minimum age at which young people in England will be able to leave learning will be raised to 17 and by 2015 it will be 18. This does not necessarily mean they must stay in school; the following options are available: full-time education, such as school, college or home education work-based learning, such as an apprenticeship part-time education or training if they are employed, selfemployed or volunteering for more than 20 hours a week.

National Tree Week marks planting season

he councils treemen have announced their winter planting plans starting in November to tie in with National Tree Week. The grounds maintenance section has more than 26,000 trees recorded on its database on council properties such as highways, schools, housing, cemeteries, parks and car parks. The planting season, marked by National Tree Week from 27 November 5 December, will run through to about March,

eciding what you want to do at 16 is a hard decision to make but youngsters in Holderness are being given a host of information online. The Log On Move On website, which has been developed jointly by the East Riding of Yorkshire Council and Hull City Council, offers students in Year 11 the chance to apply for post-16 opportunities via the internet. The website provides information on what courses are available and it also gives valuable information about how to write a good CV and interview techniques as well as providing information for parents and carers. Chloe Whitehead, 16, who studied at Longcroft School in Beverley, used the

website to secure herself a place at Bishop Burton College to study childcare. She found the website easy to use and full of useful information to help her make the right choices. Chloe said: I rst started using the website at school when I was thinking what I would like to do after Id nished my GCSEs. It was brilliant as it gave me lots of information about what options are available and what courses are available and where. Its something Id denitely recommend.

depending on the weather. Councillor Symon Fraser, portfolio for environment, housing and planning, said: The planting of trees for the future will benet our childrens children. The council is careful to use native tree species and they are nurtured to ensure they survive to maturity. Michael Brown, senior technical ofcer (arboricultural), said: We will plant up to 250 trees of 34 different varieties, concentrating on native species. We choose the

larger root-balled trees to improve their chance of surviving and to deter vandalism because people snap them off. We dont plant trees like sycamore and lime near highways or pavements because of the size they grow to and because the aphids, which suck the sap out of the leaves, drop a sticky deposit. Our database tracks the trees, giving us their history and helping us to keep a check on their condition. Among the projects last winter was the open space in Green Lane, Cottingham, which was planted with birch, lime and hornbeam.

BUDGET CHOICE:
Mrs Sharon Terry

Care choices
By Lisa Welton k youreastriding@eastriding.gov.u

Popular scheme
In the East Riding, 40 per cent of people who need care now receive it through a personal budget, giving them more choice about how they receive their care. This gure is above the 30 per cent national target gure, which was to be achieved by 31 March, 2011. Lesley Dearing, transformation manager at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: We have made signicant progress in rolling out the offer with the personal budgets which built on existing direct payment experience. People know their own situation better than anyone else can and so are usually better placed to know what will help them. Personal budgets enable people to use that knowledge to achieve better outcomes for themselves.

Giving people more control and choice over how they receive care

ersonal budgets give you more freedom and the exibility to choose your own care, according to one service user. Sharon Terry, who lives in North Ferriby, has been using the personal budgets for the last two years to tailor her care package to meet her individual care needs. Personal budgets were introduced to ensure all people who are eligible for social care have a much greater choice over how their needs are met. After having an assessment, a budget gure is calculated based on the individuals needs. The person can then choose whether to organise the support themselves through a cash

personal budget or ask the council to buy it for them through a virtual budget. Some choose a mixture of both. Mrs Terry, who is a wheelchair user, said: They offer you so much more exibility meaning you have much more control over the care you receive. Through personal budgets, and an agreed care plan, I have been employing my own carers which means they come when I want them to come. One thing I have within my budget is someone who takes me swimming once a week. Personal budgets have given me the freedom to choose how I feel my care needs will be best met.

Parking powers
By Mark Bateman k youreastriding@eastriding.gov.u

CPE: the facts

CPE will be funded through income generated from on street parking and from enforcement action so will cost nothing to residents. Indiscriminate and uncontrolled parking causes congestion, obstruction and road safety problems and adversely affects town centre commercial viability. Outcomes from enforcement of parking controls include safe and sensible parking, easing of congestion on the roads and improved safety for drivers and pedestrians. The council has reviewed all road markings and parking signs and updated these where necessary. No new parking restrictions will be implemented as the council believes the restrictions currently in place are more than adequate.

No new parking restrictions as council takes over all aspects of enforcement

ast Riding of Yorkshire Council will take over all aspects of parking enforcement for the areas highway network from Monday, 3 October. The council sought civil parking enforcement (CPE) powers following Humberside Polices decision to withdraw its trafc warden service due to other statutory obligations. As the highways authority, the council has a legal obligation to keep the highways free moving, safe and available to all users and will now enforce all parking regulations in the East Riding. CPE will allow the council to ensure that uncontrolled parking does not cause congestion, obstruction or road safety problems, which can adversely affect the commercial viability of town centres.

Top authors in town

Tom Du Boulay k youreastriding@eastriding.gov.u

Outcomes from enforcement of parking controls encourage safe and sensible parking, ease congestion on the roads and improve safety for drivers and pedestrians. The only major change motorists will notice is that instead of police trafc wardens enforcing parking restrictions this will be done by council civil enforcement ofcers. Staff are currently undertaking relevant training in preparation for the start of operations and will also be involved in an exercise, for two weeks from Monday, 3 October, to raise awareness about parking safely to motorists parked illegally. For further information about CPE, visit www.eastriding.gov.uk/roadsstreets-transport/parking/civil-parkingenforcement

everley Literature Festival, run by East Riding Libraries, will take place 616 October when the nest writers from around the country converge on the town for a festival that celebrates the art of reading and writing. This years festival is as special as ever. Margaret Drabble will be talking about her collected short stories; leading thriller writers Val McDermid and Tom Rob Smith will share a platform; and Jon Ronson, who has done so much to reveal the stranger aspects of human life, will be providing an evening of entertainment.

Beverley Literature Festival returns stronger than ever

Variety is essential to any quality literary festival and the Beverley event has plenty of it. There are top quality historians spanning almost a thousand years of subject matter with subjects as diverse as William the Conquerors mother to Ian Flemings experience as a commando in WWII. Also on offer is a programme of creative writing workshops that will give festivalgoers great opportunities to pick up tips about novel writing, and plays from some of the best exponents of the art. And, to encourage the new generation of readers, the childrens literature festival is bigger and better than ever, with events and

performances featuring some of the best childrens authors around. John W Clarke, festival director, said: The strength of this years festival is a testament to the quality of our audiences and the volunteer support we receive, as well as East Riding Libraries dedication to extend its reach into the community. Were delighted with the programme and we hope you nd something that will move you to read more, and make your library a home from home.

The council is highlighting its repair and re-use register as increasing numbers of residents look for ways to give household goods a new lease of life.

are a real inspiration. We dont organise the group or tell them where to go, they do that themselves. We give them the equipment, including pickers, high visibility tabards and refuse bags, and then take away the full sacks. We would support any group of residents who would like to do the same in their area. Those interested should email Maureen on maureen.richardson@ eastriding.gov.uk
Litter-Arti was formed two years ago and has since collected tonnes of litter from around Hessle. Mrs Sylvia Hookham, the groups organiser, said: We were formed in response to comments from residents who were concerned at the amount of litter around the town. I have 30 members to call upon. Not everyone does the same though we all try to turn out on the morning of the fourth Saturday in every month. One gentleman picks up litter when he goes for his morning paper while others take a bag when they walk the dog. Some work alone and others like to have company. I have direct contact with Wayne Bemrose at the council. I let him know where we leave the bags of litter and they are taken away promptly.

he council is looking for residents with a pride in their community and who are willing to become volunteer litter pickers.

Riding. Paige Peryer, who is a carer herself, became involved in the young carers card when she won a seat on the UK Youth Parliament and the campaign was adopted as the Yorkshire and Humber regional campaign. Since then, she has worked on the campaign, alongside the East Riding Youth Assembly, to produce the card that will help give young carers some recognition. Paige, who cares for her mum, Jane, said: Its not always easy for young

carers so the card will hopefully help them at school so they may have a little more understanding from staff. For me, the discount on the bus is great as it means I can get out and see friends in Bridlington, which also gives me a break, too. Councillor Julie Abraham, portfolio holder for children, young people and schools, said: For some young carers, personal time is at a premium and the young carers card will enable them to make the most of it with access to transport, shopping and youth and leisure facilities at a discounted rate. It is good to give something back to our young carers in appreciation of their dedication.

Budget setting events give you the chance to shape council priorities

uring November and December, the council will be holding its annual budget events. This is an opportunity for residents to come along and let us know their thoughts on what the council priorities should be when setting the budget for the coming year 2012/13. Councillor Stephen Parnaby OBE, leader of the council, said: We recognise that residents have their own views on what the councils priorities should be and would like to invite people to join us and share those opinions. Large scale reductions in Government funding mean that setting a budget for 2012/13 which enables us to continue providing quality services to residents will be more challenging than ever. However, due to good nancial planning the council is in a better position than most comparable councils to meet the challenge.

About the council budget

The last budget event was held in January 2011 in Beverley and was well attended.

FLOODED:

depend. I am also pleased to report that the council is on course to achieve its savings target of 14m through our business transformation projects 4m more than originally forecast. An important consequence of the councils sound nancial management is that the capital programme to improve the areas essential infrastructure like roads, houses and schools is being maintained at the excellent level achieved in recent years. The programme includes provision for extending schools that are oversubscribed, improvements to the highways after the severe winters, and additional affordable housing.

he accounts for the nancial year 2010/11 show that the council is meeting its target for making the reductions required as a result of reduced government funding. The Government grant settlement announced last year left the East Riding needing to make savings of around 30 million in its annual costs over the next four years. With the majority of funding cuts being made over the rst two years, it is good news that our spending gures for the 2010/11 nancial year reveal the council has already reduced its annual costs by 9.5m. In addition, one-off savings of 12.6m, plus a 3.5m VAT rebate, were achieved

Councillor Stephen Parnaby OBE, leader of the council

during the same period. These savings will be used to meet delayed spending commitments in 2011/12 and to help provide for anticipated spending pressures in future years. These pressures include rising costs of caring for the ageing population in the East Riding. Savings will also be used to fund building projects including housing, roads, leisure centres and energy saving initiatives. Councillor Stephen Parnaby OBE, leader of the council, said: This is an excellent outcome and I would stress that we are achieving the reductions while still protecting the vital services on which communities throughout the East Riding

Car share cuts costs

Council prepares plans for major road schemes

T
Commuters make big fuel savings in car share schemes
transport policy ofcer and a car sharer, said: For most people the maths is simple two people in the car equals half the cost. Apart from the obvious nancial savings, were helping to reduce congestion. Its good to have some company on the way in to work too and weve not fallen out about the choice of music yet. With prices at the pumps hitting drivers hard, along with other rising costs of living, why not take part in this national event and sign up to give car-sharing a try? Visit www.eastridingcarshare.com for others making the same journey.

WORKING TOGETHER: James Clarkson (left) and Mark Jessop (right), who cut costs by lift sharing

rivers are being given the chance to relive the days when fuel cost half what it does today. To mark Liftshare Week (37 October), East Riding of Yorkshire Council is encouraging people living in the East Riding to sign up to www. eastridingcarshare.com and see how much money they can save by car-sharing. Petrol cost just 70p a litre in 1999 and now it is double that, said Hazel Bainton, transport policy ofcer. But

with East Riding Carshare it is still possible to halve your journeys fuel costs by sharing it with one other person. Share with three other people and youll be getting your petrol costs down to about 35p a litre. The scheme has been running for all East Riding residents for more than four years and has nearly 700 members, with almost an equal split of male and female members, so the potential to nd car share partners is there. Mark Jessop, principal

Liftshare.com is running a competition to select at random someone who sent another member a request to share message. The winner will receive 250. The message has to have been sent between 26 September and 9 October.

he council will soon be submitting best and nal bids to the Department of Transport (DfT) for two major schemes, the Beverley Integrated Transport Plan and the A164 Humber Bridge to Beverley Route Improvement Scheme. Both schemes have been in the pipeline, at various stages, for a number of years and were both being considered by the DfT before being put on hold on 31 March 2010 after the Government gave notication of the General Election. In October last year, the DfT announced a revised process for major schemes, whereby local authorities were invited to submit expressions of interest for a reduced pot of funding. In January, East Riding of Yorkshire Council submitted interest to proceed with both schemes and has since revised them to ensure they provide the best value for money and the best chance of receiving funding, in line with the DfTs instructions. The Beverley Integrated Transport Plan originally incorporated the Beverley Southern Relief Road and the Park and Ride but will now have some proposed revisions. These include the: removal of the Park and Ride along with the associated terminal building and access roads reduction of the dual carriageway section to a single carriageway between the Park and Ride roundabout and the roundabout at the eastern end of the scheme removal of the Park and Ride roundabout and incorporation of a curved carriageway alignment

reduction of the dual carriageway section to a single carriageway between the roundabout at the western end (Victoria Road) and the Lincoln Way roundabout reduction of the carriageway width from 9.3m to 8.3m and reduction of the cycleway/footway from 3m to 2m. The council will shortly be carrying out a consultation with all statutory consultees to discuss these changes, which will also mean that the scheme will be subject to another planning application, due to be submitted this month, and compulsory purchase orders (CPOs) will be made in October in anticipation of a successful bid. Should the scheme be granted DfT funding, it is proposed to undertake a major European procurement exercise early in 2012, with construction work programmed

to start on site in February 2013 and be completed in December 2014. The council is also consulting over proposed changes to the A164 Humber Bridge to Beverley Route Improvement Scheme. Changes include the removal of the proposed carriageway widening works at Humber Bridge roundabout, amending the footpath/cycleway proposals between Humber Bridge roundabout and Willerby roundabout and removing street lighting between Humber Bridge and Swanland roundabouts. The council will then submit best and nal bids for both schemes in September, with the DfT conrming it will make a decision on which schemes it intends to fund in December.

ADVICE: Barry Banks

needed legal help when his wife became ill

Council helps to fund free legal advice across the East Riding
he East Riding Community Legal Advice Network (CLA Network) provides free legal advice, funded by legal aid, for housing, employment, community care, welfare benets and debt problems. General advice is also provided on a wide range of other issues. The network has advice centres in Goole, Bridlington and Beverley, as well as nine outreach advice clinics throughout the region. It is jointly funded by East Riding of Yorkshire Council and the Legal Services Commission and is run by Hull & East Riding Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) and Switalskis Solicitors. Advice is free, independent, impartial and condential. The network can assist people with a range of issues and take on cases at specialist level. One person who was glad of the networks help is Barry Banks, 62, of Airmyn. He contacted them when he gave up his ailing business to care for his wife after her health deteriorated and she needed high levels of care. For those two reasons the couple had found themselves in debt and were in danger of having their home repossessed and being made homeless, despite having about 100,000 equity in the house. Anne-Marie Benson, network manager at the Hull & East Riding CAB, said: We advised Mr Banks on how to maximise his income and gave advice of the legal options open to him with regard to his debt. We looked at options like bankruptcy, debt relief orders and other insolvency

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:

issues, but ultimately Mr Banks wanted assistance in managing his debts and taking action to stave off the repossession of their house. We managed to stabilise his dealings with those he owed money to, to give the couple time to sell their house, release the equity and pay off their debts, thus making their future more comfortable going forward. The network has ofces at: Goole: 80 Pasture Road, Monday and Wednesday Bridlington: 5a Prospect Arcade, Monday to Friday Beverley: 100 Lairgate, Tuesday and Friday. The network also has nine outreaches across the East Riding. The advice line number 0300 3300 888 is open 9am5pm

Monday to Friday and until 8pm on Tuesdays and 10am12noon Saturday mornings for advice, information and to make appointments. If you come to the network for advice, please remember to bring any relevant documents about the issues you are facing, as well as any recent bank statements or other income documents you have. CAB is a registered charity reliant on the commitment of trained volunteers and funds. Hull & East Yorkshire CAB welcomes applications from local people to volunteer as advisers, gateway assessors, receptionists, administrators and other roles. If you are interested in volunteering for the CAB, please call 0300 3300 888 or e mail volunteering@hull-eastridingcab. org.uk

Funding obtained to take the World Food cafe across the East Riding

oole Courtyard has been successful in obtaining LEADER funding to deliver its highly successful World Food Caf project across East Riding of Yorkshire. The World Food Caf is operated by Goole Courtyard, working in partnership with cooks from around the world who have made the East Riding their home. Through the World Food Caf, Portuguese, Brazilian, Polish, Latvian and Venezuelan chefs living in the

Howdenshire area provide a showcase of their countrys food and culture. Food is prepared and made available through a marketplace and other cultural activities including traditional dancing are organised. The World Food Caf operates cookery demonstrations where people can watch specic dishes being prepared, as well as nding out about the origins of the food and why it is a speciality in the host country. Linda Thornton, the centre director for the World Food Caf project, said:

The World Food Caf is a unique project and provides great opportunities for everybody to taste food from across the world. We have already run three very successful events in Howdenshire and LEADER funding will now provide us with a platform to roll out the project. We will be delivering three more events in the East Riding over the next six months, but if community groups are interested we can work with you to run a World Food Caf in your area - it is a tasty opportunity that is not to be missed.
